Izena Village Fureai Folk Museum

A place that connects the past and present of Izena Island - an interactive folk museum to learn about culture

The Izena Village Fureai Folk Museum is a great place to learn more about the culture and history of Izena Island. The museum exhibits old farming tools, daily tools, fishing tools, and other items actually used by the islanders in the past, allowing visitors to experience the wisdom of life passed down from generation to generation on Izena Island. The building itself is an old red-tile-roofed private house that has been relocated, and the attraction is that you can feel the traditional architectural style of the island up close and personal. Stop by between sightseeing tours to experience the deep charm of Izena Island.
